Acer is now launching a big-sized Chromebook – the Chromebook 15 – which boasts of the world’s biggest display. Interestingly, Acer first came with a 13-inch Chromebook. Then came the 14-inch version, and now you have the biggest ever Chromebook that not only flaunts a 15.6-inch display, but is quite a heavy one, weighing nearly five pounds.
Chromebooks had a history of being considered fairly basic and cost effective. People used to go for it for simple computing job and easy task. The Chromebook 15 however claims to be far better one in regard to several issues associated with the earlier version. The keyboard is spacious, quiet and comfortable to work on. Its trackpad is far better than the ones we are used to. While most of the earlier chromebooks were slow, this one is faster. The battery is claimed to last for 8 hours, but in reality, it lasted virtually 11 hours - a feat of sort! In short, the present edition of Chromebook is better in performance with long-lasting battery at an affordable cost, which is likely to be more acceptable in the laptop market.

The fifth generation Intel Celeron chip improves its performance to a considerable extent.

The basic version will be priced at around Rs 16,000 in the Indian market. Let us see how it fares in the market.
